WNBA Predictions & Preview For Sunday, August 17th

We go from only one WNBA game on Saturday (which I snapped my losing streak on), to a smorgasbord of five on Sunday (and then none on Monday). Here are your WNBA predictions and preview for Sunday, August 17th.

WNBA Predictions & Preview For Sunday, August 17th

Los Angeles Sparks vs Washington Mystics

Start Time: 3:00 PM EST

The game with the biggest discrepancy between my spread and the actual spread at the books is the Washington Mystics hosting the Los Angeles Sparks.

These two teams are almost identical in terms of win-loss record as well as where the advanced stats have them lined up. The main difference here is that the Mystics have the home-court advantage. My line is Washington -4, so the home team on the spread is the play.

Best Bet: Washington +3 (-108)

Atlanta Dream vs Golden State Valkyries

Start Time: 8:30 PM EST

We’ve also got a very playable spread in this game, as the Golden State Valkyries host the Atlanta Dream. Readers of this column this season know that the Valkyries have been a cash cow for me all year, so it should come as no surprise that I’m in on them again tomorrow.

Golden State is a very strong 10-5 at home in their first season in the WNBA, and they’ve won four straight games overall. My line is Atlanta -0.5, so I’m in on another home dog here.

Best Bet: Golden State +4 (-110)

Overall Record: 49-49 (50%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($406.19)
Return on Investment: -4%
